On  October 8, Hydro resumed operation of the pipeline transporting bauxite from
Hydro Paragominas bauxite mine to the Hydro Alunorte alumina refinery in Brazil.

Production  at Paragominas bauxite  mine has started,  and alumina production is
now being ramped up at Alunorte.

Based  on a  technical assessment,  Hydro halted  operation of  the pipeline for
extended maintenance in August to replace a section of the pipeline earlier than
scheduled.

During  the extended maintenance period, production at Alunorte had been reduced
to   a   level  between  35-45 percent  of  full  capacity  to  balance  bauxite
inventories.
